On April 23, 2020, the New Orleans Saints will be on the clock at some point during the evening, barring any trade, with the No. 24 pick in the NFL Draft. They have several holes to fill that include much-needed improvements at cornerback and wide receiver.
Offensive line and linebacker are two other positions that the team could use their first-round pick to solidify. However, according to a recently released mock draft from USA Today, the team opts to not fill any of those options with their top pick in the draft.
Nate Davis, the columnist behind the draft, explained his reasoning for having the Saints drafted standout Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor, likely the only RB that’ll be drafted in the first round.
